    The hull plating bent inwards and outwards, but I admit the precludes an internal explosion. It must have been caused by a shaped charge, and the back blast bent some of the hull plating outwards.

      Mark - Your straws are thinner than a nanofilament....

      FYI - Shaped charge directs it's entire force in ONE direction... Backblast would be negligable (given the size required to create that hole, NOTHING solid would be within backblast distance - Ask a demolitions expert).

      Try again ?????

        I reexamined the hole, and I may have been too quick to believe theories that it was caused by a shaped charge or an internal blast, but it definitely was not caused by a boat between the ship and the refueling dock. Even if the port side was facing the refueling dock, it would not have caused as much damage. Perhaps, it was a mine.

        I recommend taking another look at http://whatreallyhappened.com/COLE/
